Discover the Benefits of Dry Needling at FYZICAL

What is Dry Needling?

FYZICAL’s Dry Needling service is designed to provide targeted relief for patients dealing with musculoskeletal pain, tension, and trigger points. Unlike acupuncture, which focuses on energy flow along meridian lines, dry needling involves inserting a thin needle directly into muscle tissue at pain points or trigger areas. This technique stimulates the muscle, reducing tension and increasing blood flow, which can promote healing and alleviate pain.

The Benefits of Dry Needling

Dry needling is particularly effective for treating a range of conditions, from headaches and tight muscles to chronic pain and poor posture. By targeting specific muscle groups, FYZICAL’s certified physical therapists can help reduce muscle tightness and encourage improved movement and functionality. Many patients find relief from conditions that traditional physical therapy alone may not fully address, such as TMD/TMJ, whiplash, and hypertonic muscles.

The benefits of dry needling extend beyond pain relief. By promoting relaxation in tight muscles and improving blood circulation, this technique can help the body restore normal function more quickly. Enhanced blood flow helps to deliver essential nutrients to damaged areas, while the reduction in muscle tightness aids in increasing overall flexibility and strength.
